What changes did you make with VBP? Will undoing the changes you made not
work? If everything was "working fine" why did you feel the need to edit
the boot files?

VBR?... i'm not that smart... I wanted to change the default op system so I
ran the 2.1 version on vista pro boot. I had previously ran 1.0, but had the
same issues with bad index counts... I can only get XP back by uninstalling
vista pro boot

So what is your problem if you uninstall VistaBootPro and everything works
fine, leave it uninstalled and try EasyBCD and see if that one will work for
you.
